Thumbs up Christmas Gift Ideas

If you are one of those people who started and finished their Christmas shopping in January look away now.

I've just started mine and on the back of pixie-dust's fabulous find on the fairy light thread I thought it might help to share some websites offering good gifts.

This year/week I've used

www.ferrit.co.nz - if like us here in Tauranga there are no big toy shops this is a good site, although I found it a little slow. Still all the goodies started arriving yesterday so all good so far!

I also found this one;

www.iwantthat.co.nz similiar to www.iwantoneofthose.co.uk but they don't deliver to NZ.

Anyone else got any little gems to share? Time's running out ...

Yes, there's one in the city centre, also one in Northlands Mall I think. It always smells lovely walking past their shops

I just used a bath bomb last night that I was given for a birthday pressie recently from Lush here in Chch. I had a real relaxing bath and then spent the next 10 mins trying to get the dye and petals off the side of the bath!! Word of warning if you don't mind not having a pristine bathroom they are fine, but I like to see my bath all shiny and new lol!! What is the point of a nice relaxing bath then get backache trying to clean the darn thing!!

I love lush stuff. Friend of mine works for them in the UK.

Husband once, sneakily , pinched one of me bath bombs for a relaxing bath before we went out to a rugby club party . He was trying to get rid of the sparkly glitter effect for weeks.
